What Women Didn't Know.
San francisco Chronical.

[ thought women knew everything
about everything. But they don't.
don't like to tell this story. 1t is a kind
of give away. They were three or four
ladies enjoying that afternoon time when
all the gossip Is manufactured and make
up in packages to be delivered around
town. They were having charming
time when the Chinese boy walked into
their midst, holding in his hand a box
of paste of some kind. He handed it to
the lady of the house with the laconic re-
mark: "Man down there sell 'em." They
all grabbed for the box. ''What was it?'

"but it's PASTE" 81 know" said the
hostess; ''its that new complexion paste
we were reading about; don't you r.mem-
Der? It must be that" ''It must be
good; let's try it." SO one of them took
good big dab of it and put it on her
cheek, and another put some on her chin,
and another on her forehead. They all
began to squirm. The first ones cheek
was all drawn up, and she could only
speak out of the side of her mouth; the
third ones eyelids were pulled up SO that
she could not shut them. ''WeII, [ never!
We don't want any of that, anyway; John,
take it away, take it away, quick; tell the
man we don't want it," The Chinaman
departed, and found the peddler sitting
on the front steps. The peddler rose up.
"Well," he said, ''I'm glad you've come
back; thought you were cleaning all the
sllverware in the house with it,

The Attorneys Make! Their EOpening State

Sioux CRY, March 24.-The afternoon
session of the district court was occupied
with the opening statements of the at
torneys, who fully reviewed the case.
The states case was presented by Henry
j. Taylor and the defence was represent
ed by G. w. Argo. Taylor dwelt on the
circumstances leading up to the killing,
and the part that John Arensdorf
is alleged to have taken previous
to the fatal night, in helping along the
feeling of rebellion against those en-
gagged in enforcing the prohibitory
law. .Argo gave brief biographical
sketch of Arensdorf and laid stress on his
excellent character, and his reputation as
a quiet, inoffensive, good natured citizen.
He also pictured Leavitt, on whose test1-
mony the state relies extensively, and told
how he came here from Lervenworth and
opened the Standard theater, which he
characterized as one of the vilest dens
ever known in any city. At $3.50 the court
adjourned till o'clock tomorrow morn
ing when evidence will be introduced. 1t

What Shall We Feed for Eggs ?
WeStarn Eanniers RAyia1u

From chemistry we learn that an aver
age sized egg weighs about 1000 grains,
the white containing 600 grains, the yoik
800 and shell 100 grains. The component
parts Of the white of an egg in their de-
gree of per centage are: water, S4.S per
cent; albumen, u per cent; fat or oil, 9
per cent, and sugar and membrane -
per cent. Those of the yolk are: water,
15.5 per cent; caseine and albumen Is
per cent; fat or oil, 80 per cent, color
ing matter, 81 por cent, and mineral
matter, IA per cent.
This being an analysis of the egg we
are brought to the conclusion that in Or
der 20 have our fowls produce a great sup
ply of eggs we must give them food which
contains the materials mentioned above.
ia some form.
Then the question arises, what food is
there that contains the greater amount of
the material desired? There is perhaps
no one article of food which does, and it
should be our aim to find in what variety
of food we will find them most available,
and feed them. We presume that wheat
contains more plentiful supply of the
requisite materials than any other one
food. And by wheat We do not mean
screenings or poor grade of wheat, but
the very best we have. Oats also contain
some of the material wanted
OF one thing we are quite sure, and
that is that there are great many of
these much advertised egg foods which
90 not only contain the matter sought
for, bat do contain certain portion of
materials which prove to be detrimental
to the production of eggs.
We should be glad to hear from some
of our learned doctors in regard to this
question of food, and would be pleased
to have their arguments from scientific
stand point. a-.-

The Liabilities thus far Discovered Other
Facts in the Case.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, March 24.-The liza
bilities OF the firm of James d John
Hunter, so far discovered, amount to
$194OOO, divided as follows: Keen, Bo-
dine d Co., 100000; Mechanics National
Bank, $4,000; Fourth Street National
Bank, $10,8O0; Third National Bank,
$4,000; West Philadelphia National Bank,
S14 800; independence National Bank,
$4,000. All the compromising paper
bears the name of James Long,
president of the Union Trust Com
pany. Mr.. Long says that he does
not know to how much of the paper his
name has been forged, but the forged
paper has been estimated as high as
three-fourths of the entire amount. In
addition to the amounts above mention
ed, there is supposed to be a large
amount of paper adoat which bears only
the firms name. The rumor that James
Hunter took steamer yesterday for
Brazil, gained ground to-day, as nothing
has been heard from hiR since he left
Jersey City, ostensibly for New York.

name to the aggregate of 100000, but
Mr.. Long has not yet been able to decide
which bear the true and which the forged
signature. All he could tell was that he
had memorandum of all Hunters paper
he was on. Mr.. Long is secured by a
mortgage of 100000. | don't knew
whether James II unter has or not but /

don't think he has the moral courage to
come back and face the music. The
theory is that when certain notes matured
James Hunter first resorted to the des-
perate scheme of forging James Longs
signature. This was kept ap it Is sup
posed for years, one forged note being
used to lift another at succe ssi7e dates
of maturity. A mere guess at the visible
assets and liabilities is made as follows:
